BACKGROUNDDelirium is highly prevalent in critically ill patients. Its detection with valid tools is crucial.OBJECTIVETo analyze the development and psychometric properties of delirium assessment tools for critically ill adults.METHODSDatabases were searched to identify relevant studies. Inclusion criteria were English language, publication before January 2015, 30 or more patients, and patient population of critically ill adults (>18 years old). Search terms were delirium, scales, critically ill patients, adult, validity, and reliability. Thirty-six manuscripts were identified, encompassing 5 delirium assessment tools (Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU), Cognitive Test for Delirium, Delirium Detection Score, Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC), and Nursing Delirium Screening Scale). Two independent reviewers analyzed the psychometric properties of these tools by using a standardized scoring system (range, 0–20) to assess the tool development process, reliability, validity, feasibility, and implementation of each tool.RESULTSPsychometric properties were very good for the CAM-ICU (19.6) and the ICDSC (19.2), moderate for the Nursing Delirium Screening Scale (13.6), low for the Delirium Detection Score (11.2), and very low for the Cognitive Test for Delirium (8.2).CONCLUSIONSThe results indicate that the CAM-ICU and the ICDSC are the most valid and reliable delirium assessment tools for critically ill adults. Additional studies are needed to further validate these tools in critically ill patients with neurological disorders and those at various levels of sedation or consciousness.

Background and PurposeNurses' self-perception of their performance toward family members of patients is one of the most important issues in predicting family adaptive behaviors. This study analyze the psychometric properties of the Persian version of ICU nurses' perceptions questionnaire of self-performance with families of critically ill patients.MethodsAmong 135 intensive care nurses, to determine face validity, 10 nurses were asked to comment on, comprehensibility, grammar, and writing of items. Exploratory factor analysis was used to assess construct validity.ResultsThe intra-cluster correlation coefficient (ICC) was 0.82 and Cronbach's alpha was 0.74. Exploratory factor analysis showed the first nine related factors have 65.22% variance.ConclusionPersian version of “ICU nurses' perceptions of self-performance with families of critically ill patients” had good reliability and validity.

Abstract Background To date, there has not been a practical evaluation of patient sleep in critical care units, where sleep disturbance is commonly found. This study aimed to validateฎ a portable electroencephalography monitor, as a sleep monitoring device, against polysomnography (PSG) for objective sleep evaluation and the Richards − Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) for subjective sleep quality in critically ill patients.Methods In this observational study, the sleep pattern of 10 adult patients staying in an ICU for at least 72 hours was evaluated for 24 hours using PSG and the Patient State Index (PSI) from SedLine. Additionally, their nighttime sleep was subjectively scored using the RCSQ to compare with the objective parameters.Results Sleep architecture from PSG showed an increase in light sleep and a prominent decrease in restorative sleep, despite preserved quantity of nocturnal sleep. Based on PSG results, PSI was distributed in accordance with sleep depth. Subjective quality of nocturnal sleep from the RCSQ was correlated with the PSI (r = -0.816, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.955 to -0.383), as well as with the nighttime stage N2 ratio from PSG alone (r = 0.741, 95% CI: 0.209 to 0.935) or combined with restorative sleep (r = 0.801, 95% CI: 0.347 to 0.951). The cutoff value of PSI to distinguish between the stage N1 and N2 was 67.0 (specificity, 0.641; sensitivity, 0.845 with area under curve [AUC] of 0.818).Conclusion SedLine is considered a feasible and valid instrument for sleep quality assessment in ICU patients.Trial registration: This investigation was part of an interventional trial registered with the University Hospital Medical Information Network Individual Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR000026350, http://www.umin.ac.jp/icdr/index-j.html) on March 1, 2017.

Implementing and performing early mobilization is a complex process requiring multidisciplinary input and cooperation. To gain insight in its facilitators and barriers, various surveys have been developed. A systematic review was conducted, to identify the psychometric properties, feasibility and suitability of questionnaires to assess facilitators and barriers of early mobilization in critically ill patients. Data were extracted regarding a.o. definition of early mobilization, development, psychometric properties, content and themes, question format. The search identified 537 publications of which 13 unique questionnaires were included. The questionnaires showed wide variation in extensiveness of development. Only six questionnaires actually assessed validity and reliability. Which questionnaire to choose depends on the aim of its use, required level of detail and specifics of the ICU, though three questionnaires were recommended as their definition of early mobilization covered a broad range of activities, including nursing related mobility activities. International consensus on what constitutes early mobilization is desirable.
